LUCKY 5 2s

I had $30 and was playing two seperate table with $15 on each, that was my entire BR. I was playing on two 5/10c table, and on one I lost all of it with A Qo vs A A (flopped top pair to kicker). I was very dissapointed and decided to test my luck and check out what happened.

nice bankroll management

Its often a good idea to raise a crappy hand. In this way you are not seen as the mega tight person and if you are able to hit the flop like this one the opponent most likely wont belive you have hit anything at all with small cards on the flop. Just my experience.

Well I do like the ol"5/2s.
Lol.
But really I never play it but always seem like I would do good if I did.
9/7s suited is another one for me.

Last week, I played 52 of hearts in a live game out of the BB. I wind up hitting the flush on the river, and got paid nicely. I do enjoy playing baby cards when the pot odds are right to do so. If you are able to make a hand, you usually get paid well.

I'm not really using any BRM because I can't stand 1/2c tables, I come in with $3-$5 and everyone else comes in with 40 cents. Thats why I prefer 2/5c, and 5/10c tables. I have not been doing so great in SNG's so I just gave up on them.

well.. luck... but what BTN had?

yeah this is a good strat, but most of the time if u raise with 52, 69, 27 etc ur gonna miss more times than hitti. So by the time u've been raising with crap pumping up pots ur gonna loose more in the long run than winning from these crap cards. Keep it tight and keep it right i say. No wounder ur playin outta BR management and lost. IMO sorry....

i know what u mean mate. It doing my head in alot these days when u stick to BRM and u play the 1c/2c 5c/10c games there is alot of SSS and alot fo annoying limpers. Tends to dry up my game as i dont wanna follow their suit and limp and neither am i pushin out these ppl by raising. Im jus the fool pumping up pots and missing flops. I've dabled in the 10c/25c games and ppl tend to play a lil bit better. Spesh when every1 is on full stacks.

I don't normally play crappy hands like these, just that I was dissapointed and really wanted a double up. I'll probably play hands like these about 1 out of 100 hands, so I guess you can say every 100 hands i'll probably play crap like this. But i'm normally a very tight player, but most of the time I get a big hand I don't get paid off.

tottaly feel for ya. Its ok to play a random hand 1-100 and see what happens. But i know wut u mean a bout playin tight and u dont get paid for ur premium hands.

I was down to my final $13 on my BR, and decided to play a 25/50c table and got out w/ over $35. I have over $45 right now and almost done for the night.

I was sitting at a 2/5c table and check out what happened. What are the chances of this happening? Glad it didn't happen to me.
